Club Notes - 7th March

Joker Fundraiser

Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue
this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €4,256. This
week Ray Cliffe was drawn out of the drum but did not find the joker but did
win €50 while Jacinta O’Mahoney and Evan Collins won €25. We appeal to all our
supporters to continue purchasing the tickets as the funds raised will go
towards our ongoing development works at the club grounds.

Club Bingo

Our club bingo will take place this Sunday night and
this Sunday we return to the CBS Hall where the Jackpot is €1,850.

Under 21 Football

On Friday night last our Under 21 Footballers
recovered from a very bad start to defeat Clashmore by two points in the
Western Championship in Fraher Field. We now play The Nire in the Western Semi
Final.

On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish
Colaistí na nDéise the very best of luck ahead of their All Ireland Colleges
Quarter Final against Kilkenny CBS this weekend.. Representing our club on the
panel are David and Evan Collins, Brian Looby, Laurence Power and Eamonn Crotty
.

Booking of Pitches

We would like to ask all team managers to please
ensure that they have booked the pitch with Bernard Shields before they arrange
training sessions.

InterCounty Activity

On Sunday last Waterford Senior Footballers had a
fantastic victory over Wicklow in the National League in Aughrim where a number
of our players were involved. Mark Ferncombe grabbed three goals in his first
game of the year while Garry and Patrick Hurney were also on the score sheet
with Sean O’Hare lining out at midfield and Stephen Enright was on the panel.

Membership

Please note that membership can now be paid to Jonathan
O’Donovan or any member of the committee.

Déise Development Draw

It is that time of year again when our promoters are
out on the doorsteps of the parish promoting the 2012 Déise Development Draw.
The format is similar to previous years with a nine month draw coting ten euro
a month to join. Whilst the board retains some of the money to cover prizes etc
the draw is crucial to helping us meet the costs involved in running our club
in these difficult times. We would ask all our loyal supporters to please
continue to support the draw as best they can, and if you have not been
approached to join the draw but wish to do so then please don’t hesitate to
approach any club committee member.

Bon Voyage

On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish
Eoin Brackett and Daryl Ryan the very best of luck as both lads head off to
Australia this week.

Club Website

Our club website has undergone a major renovation
recently and is well worth a visit to catch up on all the upcoming fixtures and
recent results as well as containing some photos from previous years. Log onto www.abbeycourtygaa.com to see for yourself.

Club Committee Meeting

The next meeting of the club committee will take place
in The Parish Office on Thursday night March 15that
8 pm.

Sympathy

On behalf of all in the club we would like to send our
sympathies to the Moore and O’Donnell families on the death of Anne Moore nee
O’Donnell last week.
